I think the 9-3 Convertible is a tad expensive.

I was at the Saab dealer today and boy the same dealer has ignored me twice when I have come in. I guess I will have to go really far out to look at Saabs. The Jag, Volvo, etc dealer just across the freeway is much more accommodating and they don’t share the lot with a Kia dealer ship! Sorry just a little rant. I like the previous 9-3 interior more and if I look at them that is the style I will go for.

Why doesn't the 9-7x get a navigation? The 9-3 now gets a navigation!

Good question and one you could ask of many GM products. The 9-3 has had navigation for a while though they just put in a different unit. I guess in real life the On star navigation is safer and better to use but you have to subscribe.
